• " largest maars of Earth." --> "largest maars on Earth"?

  Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• You link BP in the lead, but the link goes to the oil company, which is obviously wrong. This needs corrected.

  Done, also in the other sentence. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• (No action needed) "8 by 6 kilometres (5.0 mi × 3.7 mi)" - MOS:NUMERALS discourages this, but it'll need to stay as is, due to the conversion template.
• "which is partly separated by a small sand spit into a northern 5.1 kilometres (3.2 mi) wide North Devil Mountain Maar and a 3.4 kilometres (2.1 mi) wide South Devil Mountain Maar;" - Use of the phrase "into a ..." here just feels odd to me. Possibly change to "... into the northern ... North Devil Mountain Maar and the ... South Devil Mountain Maar ..."?

  Changed. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• "At Kotzebue 60 kilometres (37 mi) northeast of the volcanic field annual temperatures fluctuate" - Probably better add commas to make it "At Kotzebue, 60 kilometres (37 mi) northeast of the volcanic field, annual temperatures fluctuate" since the clause in the middle is an appositive

  Added commas. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• "Green alder thickets and willow grow on the maar benches,[23] at Tempest Lake north of Devil Mountain Maar the vegetation is characterized by a tundra featuring forbs, mosses, sedges and shrubs and is quite dense" - Make the comma a semicolon

  Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• Again, you link BP to the oil company.

• Is there a way in the short refs like " Lenz et al. 2016, p. 597." to indicate which Lenz et al. 2016 is indicated without checking the page number ranges? If not, I understand.

  I got one. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• Spot check of refs is clean, as is the Earwig report.

3.

• Mention in the lead that Espenberg is part of Bering Land Bridge National Preserve.

Just a little tightening up necessary, placing on hold. Hog Farm (talk) 16:41, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@Hog Farm:All done, I think. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Yep, passing. Hog Farm (talk) 23:17, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
